There is nothing in the law that says that security operatives can use handcuffs for restraining people, but nothing that says they cannot. Provided that they are only used when effecting a lawful arrest, and only on violent detainees, when they are absolutely necessary, to prevent escape or injury, then it is perfectly legal to use them.
The use of handcuffs is obviously a ‘use of force’, and therefore must be properly justified. Justification is achieved through establishing not only the legal right to use such equipment (ie when effecting a lawful arrest), but also through good objective grounds for so doing, in order to show that what was done was reasonable and necessary in the circumstances. The use of restraints may have to be justified to the police, the courts and possibly in civil actions.

Please my friend.. do not post such a thing in here. I am married to a police officer for years and my father in law is at Scotland Yard. Go and try to handcuff people around while doing door work or similar and you'll find out lots of trouble in your way, the law is deeper than you think. You are not a P.O. so don't try to play or act like you one, D.S. can use legal and reasonable force only and that's it. If you have any issue at work and it's getting a little out of hand, your duty is to call the Police, that's why they are in there for.
